Still sick.

Yet back in class so I don't fail.

Today I have discovered;

• The origin of the phrase "shoot your wad."
• That most double-barrel shotguns have two triggers so that each barrel may be shot one at a time.
• That I have my Physical Evidence midterm on October 11th--a few hours before I hop a plane to WinCon.
• Why muskets are called muskets.
• If it isn't written down it never happened.
• Sawed-off shotguns are not illegal so long as they are still a certain length.
• I will have to solve a crime with three other students for my Final Project in this class.
• Bayonets were created so you could stab someone after you missed shooting them because it took too long to reload back then.
• Early firearms were often used as clubs for the above-mentioned reason.
• Plate armor was not created until after firearms came about (therefor King Arthur would not be wearing any in any movie).
• The difference between a revolver and a pistol.
• The difference between a semi-automatic gun and a fully-automatic gun (machine gun).
• It rains a lot in Scotland.
• And France.
• And England.
• An English monk was the first person to write down the formula for black powder (the first gunpowder).
• A German monks was the first person to use black powder to shoot a projectile.
• Not to anger monks.
• Firearms have been around since the 1300's.
• Other stuff too.

There is a reason I have an icon with the keywords "Weapons Yay!"

I will do something productive today, watch me.
